Sidhartha, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location for a great price!

Excellent location! Staff was very friendly. Building is big older but they have done nice upgrades and the bathroom was incredibly clean. The only minor thing I didn’t like was the walls are very thin so I could hear my room neighbors talking real late at night but wasn’t a big deal. Just something to note. Free parking also a huge plus.

Great getaway without breaking the bank

Great location as we could walk downtown. Rooms very spacious. Excellent price for size of room. Only negative was the underground parkade is low (only 6). Moose is 6.7 which is better for our truck. Other than that we had a great stay. French last was amazing. Friendly staff.
